Personal Statement

Personal Statement:

I specialize in working with individuals who are having a difficult time fostering healthy relationships, whether the difficulty is in a current relationship or in finding and keeping a partner. Unconsciously, there is a pattern that gets repeated in each relationship. By examining and understanding past relationships, even as early as the relationship with your parent/s, we can uncover the common unconscious behaviors that are preventing you from experiencing the love that you deserve. I believe in taking the time necessary to understand the root of the problem rather than quick symptom reduction. This practice prevents recurrence of the same problem down the road.
I provide empathy, safety and just the right amount of toughness to help you uncover the root of your pain. This combination allows you to push through your uncomfortable feelings, which can then lead to your growth and expansion in life and in psyche.
My degree encompasses somatic psychology, which allows me to work with various body ailments through focusing on the mind-body connection. Neuroscience has taught us that our emotions can be stored in the tissues of our body. Therefore, working with the mind and body is an integral component of healing.

At the core of many personal issues lie old messages of your sense of worth. Those messages conveyed to you while growing-up that minimized your self-esteem. The journey inward toward your past can often be frightening and disheartening. By slowly revisiting the wounded part of yourself, old repetitive behaviors can cease to exist. A new sense of kindness toward yourself will begin to emerge. Allow me to travel with you to discover what is buried deep inside of your soul, exploring what keeps you from becoming all that you want to be.
